read original more articles
Why This Matters

Slumber offers a user-friendly, terminal-based HTTP client that simplifies interacting with REST APIs through its TUI and CLI modes. Its focus on configurability and sharing makes it a valuable tool for developers and testers seeking efficient API workflows. This enhances productivity and collaboration in API development and testing processes within the tech industry.

Key Takeaways

Slumber is a terminal-based HTTP client, built for interacting with REST and other HTTP clients. It has two usage modes: Terminal User Interface (TUI) and Command Line Interface (CLI). The TUI is the most useful, and allows for interactively sending requests and viewing responses. The CLI is useful for sending quick requests and scripting.

The goal of Slumber is to be easy to use, configurable, and sharable. To that end, configuration is defined in a YAML file called the request collection. Both usage modes (TUI and CLI) share the same basic configuration, which is called the request collection.
